LOL. Worrying about being gimp with all your basic attacks and defenses taken, tons of Purples slotted, and the good Procs. You might be a tad bit high on the +recovery, but some people hate even seeing their blue bar move.
Yeah, you'll be "viable." 
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
Your going to think this is crazy...even I do.
I'm thinking of dropping Siphon Life and Midnight Grasp in favor of Shadow Maul and Energy Torrent.
This is crazy but its for pure concept reasons.
I know the character is going to be fun playwise...but I'm wondering how hard it will hit me number-wise.
I know I will be giving up the damage of SL and MG and the heal of SL but I will also be gaining AOE damage in SM and ET and be getting the knockdown of ET.
This will be fun to play no matter what because it's concept and looking at the numbers it doesn't seem like it will be too gimp to play.
What do you think?
